Box Images

Hmmm...
To do:
Add comparisons.

Early Jaws NES.png
The back of the game's box includes three screenshots of an early build.

  • The HUD is a bit simpler. From left to right:
    • The score display starts at 0 instead of 00.
    • There is no shell count, power indicator, or receiver in the center. They may not have been part of the gameplay at this point, though given that the receiver only appears on the top-down screen in the final it's possible the player simply hadn't obtained it yet when the first picture was taken.
    • In place of the above is the life counter (labeled "MAN"), which in the final only appears on the "Get Ready!" screen.
    • Jaws' health meter, which is labeled "JAWS' POWER" in the final, instead reads "SHARK DAMAGE", suggesting that the game didn't have the Jaws license initially.
  • In the first image, the islands at the far left and right are brown like the two at the top and bottom. In the final, they're green.
